    Did the drive up!

    Great food and staff! These folks make some of the best Mexican food anywhere! Staff rocked it and their libations (Cadillac Margaritas), are wowser!!! Very much worth the stop when in the area!!

    Flat vegetarian "burrito"

    Food is not good at all. I hate fast food, I NEVER want to go to Taco Bell/Del Taco. But, I honestly would have preferred that to this, and it would have cost a fraction of what this did. I got the vegetarian burrito without cheese to make it vegan, and my partner got the Pollo al a Crema. With tip, it was $40. Both meals were insanely bland. My "burrito" was entirely flat, with only some soggy mushrooms inside, swimming in some juicy flavorless pinto beans. One of the worst Mexican food restaurants I've been to. Can't speak on decor or service, as we asked for our food to go. I would not recommend this place to anyone. The food tastes like white people who think boiled chicken and white rice is flavorful, who have never tasted mexican or Tex-mex tried to make it from photos.

    Great food, great margaritas, nice atmosphere!! Our motel…read moreguy recommended this place as the best Mexican restaurant and he must be right!! It is the only Mexican restaurant we tried but none could be better.

    Absolutely the worst Mexican food I have ever had. DISGUSTING! After eating, I was very concerned…read moreabout getting food poisoning. Luckily, that didn't happen. First time here, trying new (to us) places in Brookings. Came in on Sunday 3-1-26 for lunch. Only one server so service was slow with the 6 tables occupied. Three in our party. I ordered the pork burrito with rice and beans, the other two people in our party ordered the chicken burrito with rice and beans. Also ordered two iced teas. Water was complimentary. 1. Ice tea tasted like it had sat out on the counter for days. It had a moldy taste. We took one sip and that was enough. 2. The lettuce on the plates also tasted moldy. It had been cooked and was translucent. 3. All of our meals were drowning in red or green sauce. The burritos were filled with just meat and an over abundance of sauce. Meat was OK but had minimal flavor. 4. Refried beans were over cooked and runny. 5. Service was slow and not that good but I also understand that there was only one person doing the work. 6. Bench seat was so worn out that I had to sit in the middle so as not to sink to the floor. The only positives were the chips, salsa, and water. Never got offered refills on the water even though all three of our glasses were empty. We simply could not stomach the disgusting iced tea. WOULD NEVER GO BACK. This is by far the worst Mexican food I have ever been served. It was disgusting.

They make their own vodka and it's quite nice. Do yourself a favor and try any of the Superfly specials with it, they'll surprise you. They do have a food menu, but it's a martini bar first and restaurant second. The food was pretty decent, but the knife work, plating and ratios showed the experience behind the stove. I was pleasantly surprised when I was told I could order fish tacos even though it wasn't on the menu. I love a good grilled fish taco so I went for it. The fish was perfectly cooked and seasoned well, the green and orange sauces were good if a little too mild, and the tortillas were the right style but not grilled quite enough. Also, there was very little cilantro or onion and almost no cabbage so they weren't as filling as I would have liked. My wife had the Katsu Chicken Salad. It arrived plated like it was deconstructed: the katsu on a bed of lettuce greens with very thick slices of vegetables around around the plate and the dressing on the side. It was odd, clunky and the katsu was under seasoned. The peanut dressing was divine though, my wife said she could have drank that like milk. There are some other dishes I'd like to try and their drinks were fantastic so we'll definitely try them again.

    Grilled fish tacos. Perfectly cooked fish, tasty sauces. Just missing a good slaw, the greens were miniscule.
